…the exterior of our homes, the state of our appliances and devices, colors and shapes, to name a few. If robots want to better interact with people, they need to share this understanding of the environment and communicate in terms the user can relate to and understand. Achieving this results in more intuitive interfaces, allowing users to leverage their knowledge of familiar concepts and objects to interact with novel devices.” Techniques such as object recognition using neural networks, simultaneous localization and mapping, age and gender detection, emotion recognition and natural language processing play key roles in implementing these intuitive capabilities.…
